  1. (continued from previous page)
    standing
    I need no aid from your English clan
    I only came as I was sent for
    To free the Fenians out of the van
    Oh, brave young Allen may you rest in glory
    Although your age it is scarce nineteen
    And young men and maidens that belong to Erin
    Re,ember Allen and his love for green.

  2. Many a mile I wandered across the ocean foam,
    Although my future may be spent far from my native home,
    No matter where my footsteps stray or where I chance to go;
    I'll fondly think both night and day on smiling Carnadoe.
